Triton Products Spring Clip Pegboard Hook - 2 1/8", Pack of 10, Chromate Dipped Steel Durahook for 1/8" and 1/4" Pegboards and Duraboards

I wanted a gate clip that would hold the gate open against the house, I spent hours searching for a product that would work. I finally found these and I am very pleased.

I have recently put up several pegboard panels made from steel. They have a good look, and 1/4" holes. I wanted these due to the sturdiness of them and because I intend to put up some heavy items. I have a lot of 1/8" hooks I saved from the past, they work well if you bend the hook part, but aren't as sturdy as 1/4" hooks. Now I have started accumulating some 1/4" hooks, I had seen the Triton hooks a few times, and decided to give them a try. I was doubtful about them at first, but they looked unique and would hold several things I have no way to hold otherwise.They have a small hook at the top to go in the hole, and a hole at the bottom part to accept a screw to screw them into the pegboard. If I had the wood type pegboard, they would work great, right off the bat, but the screw just spins in the steel boards because the screw threads end just before the head of the screw. BUT; I found a solution! I have some 1/4" washers that are .09" thick, about 3/4" outside diameter that when used between the hook and the pegboard, they hold fast. I have to put the screw in the hook first, start the washer, place the washer in a vise to hold it, screw in the screw, then screw it to the pegboard. An extra step, sure, but it is worth it, otherwise, the hooks just spin in the steel pegboard and don't hold. The washer works great. I wish they could put these washers in the bag for those of us who are using steel pegboards. Now I know how to make them work, I will probably get more.

I bought these clips to hold my mini can of WD-40 on the door under my kitchen sink next to my paper towel holder (I'm a space saver kind of gal.). Perfect plan. Now I can find the WD-40 without having to go to the "guy places" for that big old can when I only need a little bit now and then. I'm sure I'll find more ideas to use these sturdy clips. Woohoo! Smiles all around.

Multiple uses for this spring loaded clip. I epoxied a magnet to the clip and use it as a cigar holder when I play golf. Magnet holds clip to metal frame of golf cart for easy cigar access.

I don't know if you had as much trouble as I finding a peg board paint can holding solution. But after wasting way too much money on the cheap plastic ones, I found these. They work great, they hold strong, they take up less space, and they don't break & fall out like the plastic ones are prone to. Great solution.

I use this to hold spray cans out of my way at work. Works well with carb cleaner and penetrating oil Out of the way, yet still thereDon't know about the screw issue that others have had, I received screws for both sizes of pegboard. Don't know how well they work, I cut the tabs off and screwed them to a solid piece

I was skeptical about buying these for holding my shovels, brooms and other item but bought them just to test. Right after putting the first one I jumped back into Amazon to order more. These are the best things ever.

I bought these to hold random screwdrivers and things that don't fit into other holders that I have. I'm glad i got the smaller size because these expand to hold things that are over 1" in diameter. They are very stiff and hold onto things very tightly. I'm not using them on pegboard so I had to cut off the little pegboard tabs. I did use one on pegboard with the included screws and it is very stout.

Just the thing to hold my woodturning gouges. Keeps them close and safe. Can be used without pegboard-just drill a 1/8 " hole. Comes with screws to secure clamps to board
